> Hi all,<br>><br>> This list of new features is impressive ! thanks for the good work.<br>><br>> By the way concerning GPS, does the database (in Digikam 0.10) contains<br>> a field to represent the precision of the GPS data ?<br>
<br>No, we do not have this field in the database so far.<br>It would be a double floating point value in meters (or degrees?), which can<br>be regarded as expected imprecision of the longitude/latitude values (the<br>correct value lies in the range longitude/latitude +/- precision).<br>
For GPS tags, it could be derived from the "GPS Dilution of Precision" value<br>if available, and a constant value assumed for GPS.<br>For coordinates set by Google map or Marble, it would be derived from the zoom<br>
level at setting the point.<br>We could not store it in the image metadata with standard exif tags.<br><br>The question is, do we need this, will we make use of it?<br>One could argue that real GPS data is very exact, and if you set your<br>
coordinates yourself, do it as exactly as you want.<br>Viewpoints</blockquote><div><br>I vote for it if this have a scence for GPS searches..<br> <br>GPS guru viewpoints are welcome here...<br><br>Gilles<br></div></div><br>
